Rallying the Troops! To win the primary election versus Elizabeth Warren, Tommy Egan’s campaign efforts will have to be well calculated and executed in an excellent manner. Tommy will use his and his team’s analysis of the 2012 election and state demographics to create focal points, groups that they feel they need to most address in order to win their votes, and win the election.
Women
The first demographic of voters that Egan plans to focus on is women. Women supported Warren in an extraordinary fashion in the 2012 senate race as she received 59% of female votes. Females accounted for 53% of the vote as well (CNN). Egan is a well-known women’s rights supporter, which his campaign will highlight. He has created a partnership with the National

Egan has plans to do ground work as well, as he has intentions to have more small roundtable discussions with women across the state to discuss issues, share their views, and let their voices be heard. Female empowerment is a staple in this campaign effort, as Egan pushes for office. The female vote will play an important role in determining the election.
African-Americans/ Hispanic and Latinos In the 2012 senate election, Elizabeth Warren dominated the African-American vote receiving 86%, although being only 6% of the total votes. Hispanics and Latinos also played a smaller role in the election being 4% but Egan feels this 10% can be easily swayed in his direction (CNN). Egan also feels the turnout of these two races was rather small. According to the Census, African-Americans and

White males made up 47% of the vote and of those voters 47% of them voted for Warren. This was one of the few groups that did not vote in her favor. Egan must focus on this 47% of males that voted democratically and attempt to sway their votes in his favor instead of their incumbent (CNN). Egan also wants to focus on the middle class males, men with income between 50k to 100k as they made up a large sum of the vote as well. Egan must focus on issues that these men have in common and that they need fixing. This should be simple for him as he is a middle class, middle aged man! These men will feel similar to Egan and that will be the first way he will get his vote. Some of the issues that relate mostly will be the healthcare and jobs. Egan will work tirelessly when elected to help solve the healthcare issue in our nation. He sees this as a very serious issue and believes all should receive health care from the nation. Men are labeled as the providers of the family and they have to worry about finding affordable healthcare. Egan will also advocate for the creation of jobs through congressional action, so fewer men with families get laid off. These jobs will consist of government jobs, as well as working with major corporations to allow for more citizens to be hired without their company’s
Chapter 4: The Statistics Behind Stealth Campaigns The battle between Christian Right politicians and anti-Christian Right politicians has been a long one, most distinguishably beginning in the 1920s with the clash between evolutionists and anti-evolutionists (pp. 3). While this issue is still in debate, modern day attention is being drawn to “stealth campaigns” – that is, as paraphrased from page 83 of School Board Battles, Christian Right political candidates’ downplay of their connections to Christian coalitions and exaggeration of their moderate viewpoints to the public, all while organizing voters in conservative churches. The subject is controversial and one of the main topics discussed in Melissa Deckman’s book, School Board Battles.
The Virginia governor's race has taken a national spotlight because of the year its taking place and the divisiveness of the issues between the candidates. While cultural issues take the spotlight and are important, it is necessary to look at other issues. One of the most important debates is on what the candidates believe should be done on healthcare. Everybody will need to have health treatments at some point in their lives. There is an ongoing debate among people as to whether healthcare is a "right" or "privilege."
On April 3, 1964 Malcolm X delivered one of the most empowering speeches in American history. Two thousand people including some of his enemies turned out to hear him speak in Cleveland, Ohio. X was a black civil rights activist who played a huge role in the black community during the mid 20th century. His speech “The Ballot or the Bullet,” was about black nationalism during the current election year. At the time, blacks did not have much say in who they wanted to elect.
I think Jefferson Smith would be running as a liberal Democratic candidate. First, he is a firm believer in equality for all, shown by his desire to create an all-inclusive boys’ camp. In addition, Democrats are strong fighters for freedom and the protection of civil liberties, which goes along with his desire to uphold the classic liberal ideal. Finally, Smith would feel that the government has a responsibility to help out all those in need, regardless of income, gender, religion, etc., which is a core concept of liberalism.

The voter turnout impact is huge because it determines who gets elected. The numbers seen seem to indicated that only white people care about voting or at least care more.

Malcolm X was a black nationalist leader, who was very passionate in leading the fight against discrimination. His troubled childhood, along with the time period he grew up in, gave him the experience of dealing with racism and fabricated him into the great activist he was. In his speech “The Ballot or the Bullet” Malcolm preaches about how black people were suffering from social, economic, and political oppression at the hands of white people and how he wants black people to break from this oppression. Throughout the speech he conveys that fact that all people should be equal no matter what and how he is furious with the actions of white people.

For a very long time, the voting rights of the citizens have been a problem in the US. It started out with only men with land being able to vote, and then expanded to white men, and then to all men. However, women were never in the situation, they were disregarded and believed to not be worthy enough to have the same rights as men. They were essentially being treated as property, therefore having no rights. But, in Susan B. Anthony’s speech, she hits upon the point that women are just as righteous as men.
The mention of men is either absent or regarded with topics they usually aren’t associated with. Slaughter mentions men throughout her article, however they are placed in the position of the domestic perspective, rather than the breadwinner character. She also mentions men, such as her husband, throughout her paper, and states that they are able to maintain a work-balanced lifestyle more easily than women. Her approach to regarding men seems to always place them in the light of constantly being more privileged. Although she doesn’t necessarily place a negative connotation on the topic, she makes sure to reiterate her point that “men are still socialized to believe that their primary family obligation is to be the breadwinner” (Slaughter 10) and will continue to have an easier work-balance lifestyle until women are fully in power.
